Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Perhaps another purple-gold bubble would appear?

“Spiritual beast?”

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

This past month had been unusually calm for him.

Liu Xingchen hadn’t come looking for him, and his master hadn’t asked any questions.

The death of Jin Zhouhang seemed to have caused no ripples at all.

For a Golden Core cultivator, such calmness was unusual.

But until the Hall of Enforcement came looking for him, there was nothing he could do except continue to work hard on accumulating and consolidating his cultivation.

Just do what needs to be done.

The sudden appearance of a spiritual beast was also within his scope of work.

Arriving at the spiritual field, Jiang Hao began his search.

Since it hadn’t caused any significant negative impact, it indicated that the danger level wasn’t high.

But Qi Refining disciples have poor eyesight, and they might not be aware of the danger level of the spiritual beast.

Rustle!

As Jiang Hao approached, some spiritual medicines began to shake, indicating that the spiritual beast had sensed him.

Whoosh!

A white figure suddenly appeared, attacking him.

Jiang Hao instinctively dodged.

Then the spiritual beast plunged back into the field of spiritual medicines and disappeared again.

“It’s not big, but it’s very fast.”

Jiang Hao had a general understanding.

With this speed, even those at the early stages of Foundation Establishment might not be able to keep up, let alone those at the Qi Refining stage.

Rustle!

The beast attacked again, and Jiang Hao used his Half-Moon to block it.

Clang!

The powerful force made Jiang Hao take a step back, and the beast was also repelled, disappearing into the spiritual field.

“The attack power isn’t bad either. Is this a spiritual beast at the early stage of Foundation Establishment? Whose is it?”

The Tianyin Sect doesn’t have a place for raising spiritual beasts, and most of them have owners.

If it appeared at Duanqing Cliff, it’s very likely to belong to one of the true disciples or managing elders.

To avoid offending these people, Jiang Hao couldn’t strike too hard.

Rustle!

The moment he sensed the beast’s location, Jiang Hao swung his Half-Moon.

The demon sound rolled thunderously.

Boom!

The long blade fell, and the demon sound surged like a tidal wave.

For a moment, the spiritual medicines stopped moving.

Jiang Hao had fully comprehended the Demon Sound Slash; now, he could produce the demon sound without the blade’s edge.

As the demon sound passed, the others looked over, naturally disturbed by the noise.

If a fight broke out, they would have to flee immediately, as most of them were ordinary people.

“It’s nothing, carry on with your work.”

After reassuring them, Jiang Hao headed towards the location of the spiritual beast.

The others breathed a sigh of relief and resumed their work, but they couldn’t help stealing glances at Jiang Hao, curious about what was happening.

At this moment, Jiang Hao parted the spiritual medicines and looked inside.

A snow-white spiritual beast lay there, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

It had a pair of long ears and looked quite nice at first glance, resembling a rabbit.

Jiang Hao picked it up by the ears and noticed that, unlike a normal rabbit, its body shape was not like an animal’s but rather human-like, with two legs and two arms. It looked like a misshapen rabbit, but not ugly.

On the contrary, it was quite cute.

“I wonder which Senior Brother or Senior Sister this belongs to.”

Curious, he activated his appraisal skill to see if he could return it as soon as possible.

It was affecting his management of the spiritual medicines.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the divine ability provided feedback.

【Rabbit: Has not yet awakened its spiritual intelligence. An early Foundation Establishment stage spiritual beast with a treasure on it that can seek out the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. Once it finds the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, it can regularly obtain terrain and imagery information. It is an undercover agent specifically sent by Tianqing Mountain. It has hidden mythical beast bloodline; feeding it one spirit stone a day, its hidden bloodline can be initially awakened after seven days. Feeding it spirit stones daily can increase its favorability.】

Jiang Hao: “…”

Really, whether it’s a person or a ghost, they all come as undercover agents.

I thought this was a spiritual beast belonging to a Senior Brother or Senior Sister, but it turns out to be an undercover agent sent by Tianqing Mountain.

Tianqing Mountain is the orthodox sect closest to Tianyin Sect.

The two are roughly equal in strength, neither able to do much about the other, and they have been at peace for many years.

Only recently has there been a significant conflict, which is where Han Ming went to gain experience.

It’s truly unexpected that they would also be after the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

What gives them the right?

The Haotian Sect, Tiansheng Sect, and Luoxia Sect all dare not act rashly, and even if Tianqing Mountain were to come out in full force, it would be useless.

Lifting the rabbit, Jiang Hao began to suspect that there was someone behind Tianqing Mountain, as the treasures of this rabbit were not to be underestimated.

He just didn’t know how to extract them.

Of course, the pressing matter was to deal with this spiritual beast.

Logically, he should kill it outright, but seeing that he could help the other party unlock its hidden bloodline, Jiang Hao hesitated.

This was somewhat similar to watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Perhaps another purple-gold bubble would appear?

Even if not, at least a purple one.

“Taking it back would mean being under surveillance, which is somewhat dangerous.”

After some hesitation, he decided to buy a magical treasure that could confine the spiritual beast and raise the rabbit in the forest behind his yard.

Seven days would be enough.

Afterward, having tended to the spiritual herbs, Jiang Hao left the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

He sealed the rabbit in the attic, as it would be inconvenient to carry it while shopping for items.

He would come back to fetch it after his purchases.

Lately, the Senior Brothers and Sisters had been quite busy and seldom came over, so it was unlikely to be taken away.

Jiang Hao felt somewhat emotional, though.

Not about the sect being full of undercover agents, but rather that in the future, all the undercover agents would be around him.

Whether human or spiritual beast, everyone was eyeing the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

He himself, in a daze, had gotten involved in the major affairs of the sect without having the ability to protect himself.

Sometimes he wondered if he hadn’t taken on the task of looking after the Jingyang Flower, whether this matter would have fallen upon him.

Unfortunately, there was no answer to that.

After a short while, he arrived at the market, bought a collar for binding spiritual beasts, and then went to purchase books on talisman making.

In total, he spent six hundred spirit stones.

Unbelievable.

In the past, he would never have had so many spirit stones.
